1Introduction

Wyse® Enhanced Ubuntu™ Linux combines the security, flexibility, and market-leading

usability of Ubuntu™ (trademark of Canonical Group Limited) with Wyse’s cloud

computing optimizations in management and user experience. It is ideal for organizations

that want to run server-based, Web-based, or local applications (including legacy

applications) without the deployment and security concerns of a non-standard Linux

distribution.

About this Guide

This guide is intended for administrators of Wyse thin clients running Wyse Enhanced

Ubuntu Linux. It provides information and detailed system configurations to help you

design and manage a Wyse Enhanced Ubuntu Linux environment. Depending on your

hardware and software configurations, the figures you see may be different than the

example figures shown in this guide.

This guide supplements the standard Ubuntu documentation supplied by Canonical Inc.

and explains the differences, enhancements, and additional features provided by Wyse

with the thin client. It does not attempt to describe the standard features found in Ubuntu.

Ubuntu help can be accessed from the Ubuntu Support Web site at:
